How do I break this cycle?
Perhaps it is simpler to write our own getArgs/getEnv functions and directly convert the data we get from the system to a proper (Unicode) String?
Ideally there should be a System.Posix.Environment.getArgs that just returns the raw POSIX string (possibly as a ByteString); as with most of POSIX, there is no defined encoding for this, it's octets. If you insist on imposing an encoding on it, you could start from that. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
